Leviton Announces 2nd Gen Wi-Fi Fan Speed Controller With Apple HomeKit Support

Leviton has a new second generation Wi-Fi fan speed controller with support for Apple HomeKit. The controller is designed for overhead pull-chain ceiling fans without electronic control.

The upgraded fan speed controller provides quiet ON/OFF control with four overhead fan speeds (low, medium, high and max). Homeowners can enjoy the option of controlling ceiling fans with the My Leviton app, voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Hey Google, and Apple Siri via HomeKit, or the Apple Home app. The Decora Smart Wi-Fi 2nd Gen Fan Speed Controller is ideal for great rooms with high ceilings, kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, home gyms and covered patios.

"We're excited to continue to expand the breadth and capability of our Wi-Fi 2nd Gen portfolio by providing an automated solution for overhead ceiling fans with multi-speed control and compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Hey Google, and Amazon Alexa," said James Shurte, senior product manager, Leviton. "This new product is about more than just control and convenience. Research indicates that when fans are used effectively, thermostats can be adjusted up to four degrees, leading to reduced energy consumption and increased HVAC efficiency while maintaining comfortable temperatures in the home."




Once installed, the fan speed level bar is used to adjust the fan's speed up or down to select low, medium, high, or max settings, while the Decora rocker is used for ON/OFF control. Using the My Leviton app, homeowners can program fans to automatically turn ON/OFF or adjust the speed to circulate air at scheduled times. Additional functionality includes the ability to configure minimum and maximum fan speed settings, to choose a preset fan speed when turned on, or to have the fan always turn on at the last selected speed. The device's auto-shutoff feature can be used as a countdown timer to turn fans off after a preset length of time.
